Magisk - Root Zidoo Media players(RTD1619DR)

[pcristi]

how do a factory reset or recovery install?

First of all I rely recommended to keep your fingers far from Magisk.
Zidoo Z10 Pro is not ideal box to learn about Magisk and box are easy to brick.
Recover with TTL console(unbrick) doesn't look to be job for you.
How to flash Z10 Pro(recovery install) read on Zidoo site.
Factory reset search on quick settings then for sure you will discover.
Enjoy your Zidoo Z10 Pro as it is without Magisk.

Just confirming (1) if rooting is really necessary to use XBMC Wrapper, and (2) if the guide in post #1 can still be followed as is? I know there's ZDMC, but it hasn't been updated to Kodi 19.3. Thanks.

Dears,
i just tried to use Magist to root my UHD3000. Even after entering the IP for several times i get the error message "Cannot connect to 192.168.....:5555 Es konnte keine Verbindung hergestellt werden, da der Zielcomputer die Vrbindung verweigert. (10061).

What am i doing wrong??

And could you pls post a better picture of the menue displayed under "Enable debugging on Zidoo Media players(RTD 1619DR)"? It is impossible to read what section of the menue you refer to.

And one more thing: your instruction sounds a bit unclear to me. Is it required to install any apk on my Zidoo player? Or just run the bat from any PC in the same network like the Zidoo box??

Thank you pcrist!
Is it required to keep USB Debugging activated after Rooting was done? Or better switch it off again?

[Reelyator]

....i could meamwhile reach the developers options and switch on USB Debugging. Magist now finished and rebooted the UHD3000 but RootChecker still states that "Root is not propperly installed on this device".
...Same result after a second attempt.

What went wron here??

[Reelyator]

....confirmed after several tries: Magist seems not to work on the UHD3000:-(

May i hope for a rooted custom FW for the UHD3000?

[Reelyator]

Is there anybody here who has been able to root his UHD3000 with Magisk??

[Reelyator]

Dears,
any help from user who managed to root their UHD3000 is highly appreciated!

[Reelyator]

.....continuing talking to myself.

Now i tried out Magist v23.0. Same result as with v25.2.

Not many UHD3000 owners will have attempted to root their device because rooting brings minimal benefits in normal usage.

Plus, there is a real risk of bricking the UHD3000 by attempting to root it. In which case you'd have a very expensive brick.

We do not advise trying to root any of the Zidoo products and any breakages caused by attempting to root them will invalidate the warranty.

Thank you Futeko!
afaik rooting is the only way to make the XBMC Wrapper running on Kodi. This worked perfectly fine for years on my x20. But any other advise, how to acchieve this is welcome!

And to my knowledge, even if everything goes horribly wrong, you can still safe a bricked player by flashing the FW

Can't you use ZDMC? It works the same way as XBMC wrapper, in that it enables Zidoo's playback app for Kodi.
